RBM Performance Coaching: Mental skills for athletes

Tomorrow at 11AM join Ruth Brennan Morrey and TerraLoco as we present: Mental Skills for Athletes

"Brennan Morrey firmly believes that every athlete and sports team has a “true potential” that can be achieved through smart training, dreaming big enough, finding purpose, striving with consistency, regulating emotions, finding self-acceptance and resilience, and learning how to race/play within themselves. Brennan Morrey walks alongside athletes and teams in their process of athletic and human discovery to nurture a deep joy in sport and help them find their true sport potential."

RBM Performance Coaching: Mental skills for athletes

Confidence, confidence, confidence. It's a skill to build.

RBM Performance Coaching athletes have had masterful sport performances this winter stemming from relentless deliberate practice PLUS 100% commitment for these athletes to WIN in their mind FIRST before they enter the sport arena. Inspiring athletes, outstanding human beings.

Thank you to Sean Jensen, the host of Winning Isn't Everything Podcast, and Team Snap for this important conversation! Being intentional about creating a culture of psychological safety and integrating mental wellness onto our playing fields normalizes our youth athlete's experiences.

When I ask athletes in a large workshop setting, "Do you frequently have self-doubt, fear of failure, pre-performance anxiety, or mind wandering in sport?", every single hand goes up, every single time.

Mental wellness is on a spectrum, but the mental health statistics are clear. We no longer have a choice but to shift messages around "mental toughness", increase our mental health literacy, and prioritize our athlete's mental wellness within our practice settings. Their joy and their performance will also improve.

Don't miss out! We're just one day away from tomorrow's where Sean Jensen and Ruth Brennan Morrey will discuss and youth sports.

Sometimes you give all of your heart but somehow you get much more back in return. It was a privilege to serve this swim club who are 💯 dedicated to growing youth athletes using a wholistic approach. Impressive team culture you have nurtured. Thank you for welcoming me, McFarland Swim!

SOLD OUT. Humbled 🙏.

Athletes from 8 different sports and 5 different schools have just stepped up their game. Let's Go! 👊

CONFIDENCE.

It's the magic sauce every athlete wants, but nobody quite understands how to get it, grow it, maintain it.

We can build confidence even when things get hard, even when we make mistakes, even when we underperform, but only when we understand how it "works" and we nurture it every day.

Youth athletes will learn about this construct and many more in the RBM Performance Coaching Workshop on August 22 and 24th from 1:00-3:30pm.

TWO WEEKS LEFT! Registration closes on August 15.

Athletes would never start their first game, meet, or sporting event physically unprepared. Our athletes train diligently on their strength, technical skill, speed, agility etc, but they don't typically train the most important body part of the game: The Head!

The mental game isn't the "edge", the mental game is everything.

I am thrilled to present this 2-day workshop to teach our Rochester athletes how to grow confidence, regulate emotions, enhance focus/attention, and how bounce back from mistakes.

I love to win. I really do. I always have. As a 10 yr old, I remember losing a championship game in Apple Valley and crying for the majority of the car ride home in my coach's Oldsmobile wagon. In that same car ride, the song “Greatest Love of All” (Children are Our Future) by Whitney Houston gutted my little tomboy soul. I was curled in a ball trying to hide my tears after the loss. I mean, it makes sense....how can “the children be our future” when I just BLEW it and didn’t score the critical goal that we needed to win? 😂 That innocent, tearful, devastating heartache just makes me smile now. Losing felt so personal. The stinging of a championship loss lasted for days. As I grew as an athlete, losing’s meaning shifted. I still LOVED to win, but through heartache, I knew falling short IS the way to greatness—only if you channel it correctly. Falling short created a deeper passion for learning. It meant becoming even more “obsessive” with the ball in my backyard, more grateful for opportunities I earned to give my BEST, and more reflective about how I could improve in mind, body, and spirit. As a professional athlete, in my new wisdom, losing meant learning. So, as a coach, I walk away from tournaments a bit differently than my pouty 10 year old self. My eyes shift to the process. YES, we still want to win it ALL (!) and strive to be THE best, but we do it by mastering OUR process, discovering OUR values, and by deliberately improving upon 1-2 elements and intentionally getting better everyday. May 6-7: Just for Girls Tournament in Des Moines, Iowa. 2nd place, with 2 wins, 1 loss, 1 tie. We improved steadily and mightily in heart, in team connection, in decision making, in patience, in tactics, in JOY, and in confidence. That IS the win. Let go of ego, the children are still our future. 😊 Monday’s Practice: A team chat, and plenty of watermelon, Bomb Pops, and laughter...the way youth sports are supposed to be ‘played’. I am so inspired by and adore this @minnesotarush @mnrush_u16_prem2 team. #rbmperformancecoaching #joyintheprocess #deliberatepractice #desireabledifficulty #mindset #team #mnrush #character #cognition #competence #processoveroutcome
